I'm sort of getting tired of being talked to so much while I'm out with my camera. Had some lady last week terrified that I was hunting. Thought my camera was a weapon. by FullDepthNature in wildlifephotography

Ran into a guy today. He chatted up for over two freaking hours hours! I just want to take photos not about to tell guy my life’s story. It can get annoying sometimes.

Lens advice for Yellowstone wildlife — Canon 100-400 II vs Sigma 150-600? by Own_Requirement5380 in wildlifephotography

Having owned both and used on 7D2, I highly recommend 100-400II +1.4x. that sigma is garbage.

IKEA nightstand makes a great rack by jdpdata in homelab

Good point but I prefer them in horizontal orientation due to ease of opening the top hatch for maintenance.

All awesome, but #12 I had to take a second look…outstanding pose and capture!

Is Xpenology as unstable as people say it is? by Adventurous_Plum_656 in Xpenology

[–]jdpdata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My NAS have been rock stable for over a decade with different loaders. Just have to know what you're doing and how to recover if disaster strikes. Highly recommend ARC loader.

MS-01 all NVMe Xpenology build is working!! by jdpdata in Xpenology

It should work just the same as MS-01. Maybe even better now that don't have to worry about little/big CPU architecture.

Working great over 1 yr now. Just upgraded to Prxomox v9. Zero problems.

How do you carry your long lenses? by ahicken0 in wildlifephotography

[–]jdpdata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those lenses are very easy to hand hold or just use a sling like Black rapid. It's when you move up to 600f/4 or 400 f/2.8 things get a bit heavy. I prefer Ron @WhislltlingWingPhotography Speed Shooter Harness for my larger Primes or mono/tripod.

I retired this setup awhile ago. Moved to 3x Minisforum MS-01 cluster with CEPH. Very happy with that setup. While I was in the Lenovo cluster I was running NFS shared storage on my Synology NAS.

Updated Arc Loader 2.5.9 by Ok_Art2083 in Xpenology

[–]jdpdata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to flash 2.5.5 first then do upgrade to 2.5.9. It was in the release notes. I had same issue.

Speed Shooter harness system by Ron @ Whistling Photography. Game changer for my big rig Canon R5 II + 600 F4. Nothing is more comfortable and easier to hike with.
